This is a beautiful briefcase. My husband is very picky and he likes this one, you would not believe how many other briefcases I have returned over the years. You can tell that it is wonderful quality and will last for years. I think the only drawback is that it is heavy without anything even in it. But we have looked at so many different briefcases and this is the only one that he has been happy with. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

This bag has an easy-to-open clasp underneath the adjustable front buckles, and it is not lined.
